Scarlett Johansson and Pete Yorn

Hey all! In another thread I mentioned the Pete Yorn/Scarlett Johansson cd. I heard the tune below and got hooked.

Pete Yorn is pretty good, but ScarJo is good to look at!

I'm impressed. She's got that Amy Winehouse/Duffy kind of quality to her voice - it seems like that'd be pretty tough to pull off if you don't have it naturally. I'd love to hear her do something torchy. Thank you Rick!

Thank you Andi for the instructions and feedback! I agree about the voice tone you mentioned. I love any female voice with even a hint of the Billie Holliday tone. Her voice and the melody are what hooked me I think. The cd itself is very well crafted.

help me, help me...

TV, I thought you would dig it. Here's a live performance of the same song:

Nice voice but no matter how I try to listen, I can't find the Billie Holiday part But hey, it's ok, there will never
be another one like her. Let's enjoy ther voice as it is. MUCH better than I thought.

Some country flavor:

I will pay anyone $50 to get that hippie a proper quiff n a shave,
good voice but sheeze.. we cant have commies singin with
beautiful girls.

Good thing I got my hair cut off and it's off somewhere being made into a wig, I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a hippie...The beard needs to stay, though. Winter is approaching, I don't want to feel the chilled winter wind blasting my bare cheeks.

I've seen Pete Yorn a few times, and he puts on a great show and has some good songs. Part of me likes him, but part of me feels like some of his songs are "lite" versions of his influences. He does a pretty good cover of Suspicious Minds and Atlantic City. Apparently he was in Omaha for a few months last year recording his album that was released this summer.

While Scarlett may be a little better to look at, Zooey Daechanel (sp) has a much better voice IMO. The duet album she did with M.Ward "She & Him" is great...doesn't hurt that she has that "pretty in a quirky way" and M. Ward is a good musician and songwriter.

Wow, thanks for that pic TV! I'm not familiar with any of Pete's catalog. I was watching VH1 one morning and saw the original clip for Relator posted above and thought the female voice and melody were reminiscent of Katherine Whalen of Squirrel Nut Zippers. I was surprised to see it was Scarlett.

Zooey Deschanel is one of my favorite actresses in the lite catagory, but ya she has a cool voice. Distinct! Then again Gwenyth Paltro (too lazy to spell check dont care) can belt out the tunes with great timbre.

can Sara Maclaughlin act? Her voice resonates deep in my soul.
Scarlett Johansen just makes me resonate ...

I know what 'ya mean!
